Erin + Ben have the sweetest countenance.

Family… it’s something we all desire to have and work very hard for. Now that I have a family, I realize just how much grit you need to sustain a good, loving family.

Ya’ll… How is it that we knew this bride when she was a teenager? What is going on? Craig and I served in the youth ministry together for several years, and she was one of the students there. Even back then, she was beautiful, smart, responsible, and an all around great human being.
